Qi pronounced chi and means ki.

Source? It seems you got it backwards (that is, ki means chi).
  • Ki means "chi"
  • Qi is a "variant of chi"
  • Chi is...
    vital energy that is held to animate the body internally and is of central importance in some Eastern systems of medical treatment (as acupuncture) and of exercise or self-defense (as tai chi)

Wellp, you just had to open the floodgates of pedantry. He didn't have anything backwards.
Ki = Chi = Qi = Chi'i
They're all words with the same definition, there's no front or back. You can say Ch'i means Ki, Chi'i means Qi, Ch'i means Chi, Chi means Ki, Chi means Qi, Chi means Chi'i, Qi means Ki, Qi means Ch'i, Qi means Chi, Ki means Qi, Ki means Chi, and Ki means Chi'i.

I think the founders of reddit beat him to the punch, there.

        Most accurate description of a cat I've ever heard
        [–]Cow13Punk 2 points 
        On the contrary--I've always described my relationship with cats as: Imagine the bitchiest ex-girlfriend you've ever had.
        [–]michaelrohansmith 6 points 
        And worse. I can't imagine a woman bitchy enough to urinate on my possessions while I am out of the house.

        I'd be happy to introduce...

          Unless it's attached to the word Kit, then it mean delicious chocolate. That is unless I'm doing it wrong...

          Kat Kit?

          Break me off a piece of that Kat Kit bar
          [–]Dent18 3 points 
          Only Kat.

          Kat is the Dutch word for Cat. So it is technically right.

            If you successfully play a word without it being challenged 5 times in a row, it goes in the dictionary.

            So that's why there's so much bullshit in there.

              Or the French. The everything is silent.

              yeah i'm trying to teach myself french... the audio is so hard to get a grasp of the spelling. it's pretty much impossible for me to hear a word and know how to spell it if i haven't seen it before.
